Night Waves
1 June 2005
Polemicist, self-proclaimed contrarian and one of the most prolific journalists of our time, Christopher Hitchens is famous for his fusillades against 20th century historical figures like Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton and Mother Teresa, as well as his more recent support of Bush's war against terror.

Philip Dodd talks to Christopher Hitchens about his life and work. How much does the man who could be found selling the Socialist Worker on Saturday mornings in Kilburn resemble the Washington-dwelling Hitchens of today?
